Well, let's see...
The pilot system is finished except for the HERMs recirc/sparge return line which I'm doing tonight and the final water test. Tomorrow I'm off to get about 150 lbs of grain to store up along with my other stuff and Saturday will see our boil-test. Assuming all goes well - Sunday will be the inaugural brew with the pilot system.
We'll be doing a bbls worth of wheat ale plus enough on the side for a 6th to use for our August tasting. After that I'll brew up a chocolate stout, a blonde and an amber.
The brewhaus tanks should be in by sometime in early August. We could have gotten them earlier but didn't get word from the supplier soon enough to schedule our guy to fly out and pick them up. His work schedule forced him to wait another week or two. So, that's going to suck. In the meantime, we're getting the finishing electrical done in the brewery and doing more work in the tasting room.
I know... Fun for everyone! Everyone! We have our second tasting on the 30th. We had darn near 200 people come to the first so we're hoping to do even better this time. We'll be serving a vanilla porter and our blonde ale along with everyday favorites Root Beer, Lemonade and Ginger Beer.
Last time we had a tasting, the Martini bar that hosted for us did very well so we are hoping to give them a good night again. We've also invited the owners of the local distillery to let them see how our soft-drinks do with their spirits in mixed drinks. We are hoping to set up some accounts with them for the Root Beer, Ginger Beer and Lemonade.
Moving closer to opening. Always closer. I keep saying that so it must be true!
